Why  This  Handbook? 

About  a  score  of  years  ago  the  American  Sunday- 
School  Union  published  a  classified  list  of  the  Inter- 
national Sunday-School  Lessons  covering  their  first 
thirty  years.  That  list  was  found  so  useful  by 
Sunday-School  workers  that  ten  years  later  the  Edi- 
tor of  the  Society's  publications  produced  a  history 
and  handbook  of  the  International  Lessons  with  a 
full  list  of  lessons  of  the  Uniform  Series  from  the 
beginning  up  to  that  time.  Th'is  handbook  was  fur- 
ther revised  in  1914  and  a  supplemental  list  of  lessons 
added,  bringing  them  up  to   1917. 

The  little  book  has  been  found  helpful  for  reference 
by  so  many  writers  upon,  and  users  of,  the  Uniform 
Lessons  that  its  contents  have  now  been  rewritten  by 
Dr.  Rice,  and  a  new  chapter  added  by  the  Society's 
present  Editor,  Dr.  James  McConaughy,  bringing  the 
history  of  the  Uniform  Lessons — and  side  by  side 
with  them,  of  the  growth  of  the  more  recent  Graded 
Lessons — up  to  this  date.  At  the  same  time  the 
list  of  the  lessons  has  been  completely  revised  to 
cover  the  whole  period  from  1872  to  1924,  the  latest 
year  for  which  they  have  as  yet  been  issued.  It  is 
hoped  that  the  book  in  its  present  form  will  be 
found    still    more    valuable  than   in   its   earlier  issues.

Origin  and  Development   of  Uniform 
Bible  Lessons 

By  Edwin  Wilbur  Rice 

THE  immense  popularity  that  followed  the 
adoption  of  the  "Uniform  Bible  Lessons"  in 
1872  marked  an  epoch  in  the  modern  Sun- 
day-school movement.  Uniform  topics  of  Bible 
study,  as  presented  by  successive  lesson  committees, 
aroused  an  enthusiasm  which  concentrated  a  greater 
amount  of  scholarship  upon  the  study  of  the  Bible 
than  had  been  given  to  it  for  centuries  before. 

After  fifty  years  of  wt>rld-wide  use,  this  course 
of  study  still  holds  a  wide  popularity  in  America. 

evolution  of  uniform  lessons 

Uniform  Bible  lessons  did  not  spring  up  in  a 
night.  The  idea  was  the  culmination  of  a  series  of 
experiments  with  many  schemes  for  biblical  study 
during  more  than  a  century.  Religious  instruction 
of  the  young,  in  the  family  and  in  cliurch,  before  the 
introduction  of  Sunday-schools,  was  from  cate- 
chisms, and  was  by  no  means  general.  These 
catechisms  were  based  upon  theological  creeds  and 
'confessions  that  were  intended  as  compends  of  Chris- 
tion  doctrine  for  churchmen  to  give  assent  to,  and 
were  generally  quite  beyond  the  comprehension  of 
children.  The  early  ones  were  very  crude.  Among 
the  first  in  English  was  one  entitled  The  Maister  of 
Oxford's  Catechism,  used  in  Oxford  University,  Eng- 
land, about  1425.     The  questions  were  asked  by  the 


"clerke"  or  teacher,  and  the  answer  was  to  be 
learned  by  the  "Maister,"  or  graduating  student. 
Specimen  questions  are  worth  quoting,  to  show  the 
progress  in  catechetical  methods: 

Gierke  Question. — Say  me  where  was  God  when  he  made 
heven   and   erth  ? 

Maister  Anszver.     I  say  in  the  further  ende  of  the  winde. 

C.  Q.     What  is  God? 

M.  A.  He  is  God,  that  all  things  made,  and  all  things 
has  in  his  power. 

C.  Q.     Of  what  state  was  Adam  when  he  was  made? 

M.  A.     A  man  of  X  X  X  wynter  of  age. 

C.  O.     Of  what  lengthe  was  Adam? 

M.  A.     Of  iiij   score  and  VI  enchys   (inches). 

C.  Q.     How  long  was  Adam  in  Paradise? 

M.  A.  Vij  yere,  and  at  vij  yeres'  ende  he  trespassed 
against  God  for  the  apple  that  he  hete  on  a  Fridaye,  and 
an  angel  drive  him  oute. 

C.  Q.  Why  beryth  (beareth)  not  stonys  (stones)  froyt 
(fruit)    as   trees? 

M.  A.  For  Cayne  slough  his  l)rother  Abell  wth  the  bone 
of  an  asse  checke. 

******** 

C.  Q.     Why  is  the  sun  rede  at  even  ? 

M.  A.     For  he  goeth  toward  hell,  etc.,  etc. 

Catechisms  generally  were  intended  to  teach  the 
dogmas  of  some  religious  sect — Greek  or  Roman 
Catholic,  or  some  one  of  the  many  reformed  Chris- 
tian bodies.  Raikes  struck  out  a  new  scheme,  in 
going  direct  to  the  BiWe  for  study  lessons. 

When  the  modern  Sunday-school  movement  began, 
educational  theories  were  confusing,  if  not  contra- 
dictory, as  Jean  Paul  Richter  declared.  But  some 
sane  principles  were  emerging  from  the  chaos. 

SOME   IMPORTANT   FORWARD    STEPS 

1.  The  Bible  Text  Was  Put  First.— The  alphabet, 
spelling,  and  reading  lessons  from  the  Bible,  com- 
mon and  necessary  at  first  in  Raikes'  schools,  w^ere 
not  more  primitive  than,  nor  so  crude  as,  the  methods 
in  the  secular  schools  of  that  era.  Moreover,  they 
were  temporary,  and  preparatory  to  effective   Bible 


instruction.  They  were  not  extensively  or  long  used, 
nor  were  tliey  necessary  in  America,  except  in  the 
southern  states. 

2.  The  "Memorizing"  Era  that  followed  was  more 
conspicuous  and  general.  Scholars  and  schools  vied 
with  one  another  in  committing  to  memory  portions 
of  the  Bible  and  hymns.  Rewards  and  prizes  were 
offered  to  those  who  recited  the  largest  number  of 
verses  or  hymns.  The  scholar  was  allowed  to  make 
selections  without  limit;  hence,  here  was  a  case 
of  "grading  study"  for  every  scholar.  The  teacher 
often  used  two  hours  in  hearing  scholars  recite,  and 
had  no  time  for  explanation,  application,  or  teach- 
ing. A  gigantic  case  of  memorizing  the  Bible  was 
that  of  Alexander  Lyons  (Blind  Allick)  of  Stir- 
ling, Scotland,  who  could  repeat  the  entire  Bi1)le.  If 
any  clause  was  given  to  him  he  could  instantly  re- 
peat the  whole  verse  and  tell  where  it  would  be 
found.  But  his  knowledge  was  purely  verbal.  If 
asked  to  quote  a  verse  that  declared  man  was  a 
sinner,  or  one  saying  how  man  could  be  saved,  he 
was  utterly  unable  to  recall  any.  In  America,  this 
excess  of  memorizing  was  said  to  develop  a  disease 
of  the  head,  liydrocephalus — a  serious  abuse  of  a 
good  practice. 

3.  Lessons  and  Training  Systems. — Partly  over- 
lapping and  following  the  memorizing  era  were  sev- 
eral systems;  as,  (a)  the  "practical  lessons"  urged 
by  James  Gall  and  others.  The  Scriptural  theme 
might  be  a  chapter,  more  or  less,  to  be  read.  Fifty 
or  more  questions  were  given  for  the  teacher  to  ask, 
in  order  to  get  the  facts  before  the  scholars.  Then 
the  scholar  was  required  to  "draw  some  practical 
lesson"  or  application  from  every  verse  or  succes- 
sive fact.  This  excess  of  detailed  application  com- 
monly left  a  confused  jumble  in  the  mind.  The  plan 
was  modified  and  had  a  limited  use  in  America,  (b) 
The  training  system,  by  Stow,  gained  considerable 
popularity  for  a  time  in  Great  Britain.     It  required 


separate  rooms,  small  classes,  and  provided  no  text- 
books, (c)  Mimpriss's  system  covered  the  life  of 
Christ  only,  giving  no  study  of  the  other  portions 
of  the  Bible. 

4.  Tlie  Lecture  and  Story-Telling  Systems. — The 
scholars  took  all  the  time  in  reciting  Scripture  in 
the  memorizing  era  !  The  reaction  from  that  went 
to  the  other  extreme — the  teacher  taking  all  the  time 
in  lecturing,  object-illustrating,  and  story-telling, 
about  the  Bible  text.  When  the  scholars  grew  list- 
less, a  story  of  the  humorous  or  thrilling  type  would 
be  given,  mingled  with  the  story  of  the  Bible  text, 
to  hold  the  attention.  The  scholars  were  "lectured," 
not  taught. 

LIMITED    UNIFORM    BIBLE   LESSONS,    1825-185O 

Meanwhile,  thoughtful  educators  were  planning  a 
natural,  normal  system  of  Bible  study.  Lessons  on 
limited  selected  portions  of  Scripture  appeared  to 
spring  up  spontaneously  in  various  sections  of 
America.  Thus  Truman  Parmele.  of  Utica,  N.  Y., 
Harvey  Fisk,  of  Princeton,  N.  J.,  the  American  Sun- 
day-School Union  workers  in  Philadelphia,  and  not- 
alVy  S.  W.  Seton,  W.  A.  Tomlinson,  and  Albert 
Judson,  of  New  York,  proposed  courses  of  Bible 
study  upon  improved,  though  similar,  principles.  The 
American  Sunday-School  Union  induced  these  lead- 
ers to  allow  the  best  features  in  their  several  plans  to 
be  combined  into  one.  known  as  the  "Limited  Uniform 
Bible  Lessons,"  1825. 

This  plan  of  uniform  lessons  marks  an  early  epoch 
in  modern  Sunday-school  instruction.  It  speedily 
won  its  way  to  an  extensive  use,  and  was  formally 
approved  by  the  first  National  Sunday-School  Con- 
ventions of  1832  and  1833.  By  that  time  the  course 
of  lessons  had  been  tested,  and  revised,  and  improved 
by  many  changes,  as  the  result  of  several  years'  trial 
It  stood  the  test  against  any  and  all  rival  schemes, 


including  those  heretofore  mentioned,  and  the  Lan- 
castrian and  Bell  methods,  and  the  Moravian  "verse 
a  day"  scheme. 

The  topics  of  study  and  the  passages  of  Scripture 
were  selected  and  issued  first  on  separate  cards  and 
leaflets.  The  plan  was  not  endorsed  by  any  denom- 
ination, or  heralded  by  any  big  convention.  The 
tentative  or  trial  lessons,  of  1824-5,  were  approved 
and  published  by  the  American  Sunday-School  Union 
and  recommended  to  its  four  hundred  or  more  aux- 
iliary societies  in  every  state  in  the  country. 

Notkc  that  the  "Question  Books"  and  other 
"helps"  on  the  lessons  came  later  and  were  wholly 
distinct  from  the  "Lists  of  Lessons."  The  important 
features  claimed  for  the  "Uniform  Bible  Lessons" 
of  1825,  and  on,  were: 

(1)  A  course  of  study  of  the  Bible  text  itself, 
rather  than  of  catechisms,  creeds,  confessions,  or 
historic  matters  about  the  Bible,  however  excellent. 

(2)  The  course  gave  a  view  of  the  important 
events,  doctrines,  and  truths  of  the  Bible. 

(3)  "Every  class  to  receive  instruction  on  the 
same  lesson  at  the  same  time,"  and  all  schools  in  the 
country  may  have  the  same  topic  of  study — "Uni- 
form Bible  Lessons  for  all." 

(4)  Reviews,  annual  and  quarterly,  were  provided, 
with  public  examinations.  Sundays  were  also  al- 
lotted for  optional  lessons  in  catechism,  on  missions, 
temperance,  or  denominational  dogmas,  or  for 
monthly  concerts  of  prayer. 

(5)  The  lessons  were  graded  in  the  teaching. 
The  "helps,"  questions,  explanations,  and  notes  were 
to  be  in  not  less  than  three  grades,  so  that  the 
theme  or  text  of  each  lesson  would  be  adapted  to 
all  grades  or  departments  of  a  school.  They  fur- 
ther suggested  that  optional  lessons  for  Infant 
Classes  or  beginners,  and  for  advanced  Bible  classes, 
might  be  used  where  deemed  necessary. 

(6)  The  text  was  usually  limited  to  from  ten  to 


twenty  verses.  Teachers'  Meetings,  weekly,  were 
advocated  for  the  study  of  the  lesson,  and  pastors 
urged  to  use  the  text  for  midweek  lectures,  which 
many  did. 

(7)  The  course  was  first  planned  to  cover  the 
Bible  in  five  years.  Later  it  was  revised  and  ex- 
tended to  seven  or  nine  years. 

(8)  It  was  offered  for  national  and  international 
use  in  the  United  States,  Canada,  and  Great  Britain. 

These  ''Uniform  Bible  Lessons"  were  warmly 
commended  by  foremost  clergymen  and  laymen  of 
every  evangelical  denomination,  such  as  Dr.  James 
Milnor;  Dr.  James  Matthews,  Chancellor  of  New 
York  University;  Dr.  Gardiner  Spring;  Dr.  Henry 
Chase ;  Dr.  Lyman  Beecher ;  Dr.  John  H.  Rice ; 
Thomas  Grimke ;  Theodore  Frelinghuysen ;  and  many 
others.  Dr.  Isaac  Ferris,  later  Chancellor  of  New 
York  University,  voiced  the  generail  judgment  of 
Christian  educators  on  this  study:  'Tt  did  more  for 
the  efficiency  of  the  Sunday-school  than  can  be 
calculated."  It  enlisted  the  best  talent  in  framing 
the  studies  in  the  Bible  upon  this  plan.* 

GRADED    HELPS   ON    THE   EARLY    UNIFORM    LESSONS 

Notes,  explanations,  and  helps  on  the  early  "Uni- 
form Bible  Lessons"  were  provided  in  several  grades 
by  distinguished  educators,  for  teachers  and  scholars. 
And  they  were  more  necessary  then  than  now.  Ex- 
positions of  the  Bib'e  texts  were  issued  in  The 
American  Sniiday-ScJiool  Magazine  and  in  The 
Sunday-School  Journal,  published  by  the  American 
Sunday-School  Union.  Notes  and  Question  Books, 
by  Albert  Judson,  and  others,  were  issued  for  schol- 
ars in  three  grades.  The  most  popular  of  these 
graded  helps  were  the  "Union  Questions,"  which 
covered  the  entire  seven,  and  finally  twelve,  years' 
course  of   Bible  study.     Their  circulation   extended 

*  For  full  description  of  the  "Limited  Uniform  Bible  Lessons"

into  millions  of  copies,  and  they  were  commended 
again  by  the  National  Sunday-School  Convention  of 
1859. 

Volumes  of  Notes  and  Questions  on  each  yearly 
course  of  ''Uniform  Bible  Lessons"  were  also  issued, 
separate  from  the  list  of  lessons  and  from  the  pop- 
ular "Union  Questions." 

Thus  the  aids  for  teachers  and  scholars  were 
provided  on  a  generous  scale,  enlisting  the  labors  of 
foremost  biblical  scholars  and  educators  of  that  day, 
and  were  in  grades  adapted  to  all  the  departments 
of  the  Sunday-school. 

For  example,  a  special  help  was  provided  upon  the 
four  Gospels,  giving  a  harmony,  explanations,  ques- 
tions, and  practical  lessons,  with  illustrations.  These 
"helps"  on  each  lesson  covered  several  closely 
printed  pages,  the  matter  being  classified  under  five 
heads :  ( 1 )  The  "narrative,"  or  historical  setting  of 
the  lesson;  (2)  "Exercise,"  or  a  series  of  questions, 
indicating  a  p!an  of  instruction;  (3)  "Explanations" 
of  difficult  phrases  and  verses  requiring  special  ex- 
position; (4)  "Illustrations"  of  the  symbols,  as  in 
parables,  often  more  extended  than  the  explanations 
under  the  third  head;  (5)  "Practical  lessons,"  or 
applications,  often  occupying  three  or  more  closely 
printed,  but  distinctly  paragraphed  pages. 

Teachers  had  the  results  of  wide  study,  keen  wis- 
dom, and  broad  applications  of  the  truth  to  daily 
life.  Besides  these  five  forms  of  "helps"  and  three 
distinct  forms  of  "graded  questions,"  there  were 
maps,  geographical  and  other  illustrated  material,  so 
that  the  system  speedily  gained  a  circulation  of  over 
a  million  copies.  Indeed,  it  was  computed  that  these 
lessons  were  approved  by  about  seven-tenths  of  the 
entire  number  of  Sunday-school  teachers  in  the 
United  States. 

After  the  Convention  of  1832,  the  whole  series 
was  again  revised  by  a  committee  of  editors  and  two 
more  yearly  lessons  were  added  to  the  previous  seven 


years'  course,  and  proofs  of  them,  with  "Union 
Questions"  on  them,  were  sent  to  about  fifty  lead- 
ing bibHcal  scholars  and  educators  in  the  country, 
seeking-  corrections,  suggestions,  and  improvements. 
The  proofs  returned  had  so  many  corrections  that 
the  work  had  to  be  rewritten.  There  were  finally 
twelve  yearly  volumes  of  ''Union  Questions."  But 
volumes  10  and  11  were  for  the  use  of  advanced 
Bible  classes,  and  volume  12  was  an  optional  review 
of  the  whole  Bible.  The  series  aimed  to  include 
a  careful  and  complete  study  of  the  entire  Bible.* 

Tt  was  offered  for  national  use  in  the  United 
States  and  also  in  the  Canadas  and  provinces.  Suc- 
cessive editions  were  early  reprinted  by  the  Religious 
Tract  Society,  of  London,  England,  with  Judson's 
Questions,  so  that  it  was  claimed  as  an  International 
System.  The  system  continued  to  be  widely  used  in 
this  country  for  a  generation. 

ERA    OF    SEGREGATION    AND    REACTION 

This  plan  of  "Uniform  Bible  Lessons,"  of  1825 
and  on,  w^as  evidently  in  advance  of  its  age.  Work- 
ers of  the  third  decade  in  the  twentieth  century  need 
to  be  reminded  that  facilities  of  communication  in 
America  were  vastly  different  from  now  in  the  third 
.deca-'^e  of  the  nineteenth  century.  There  were  no 
telephones,  telegraphs,  steam  railways,  and  practical- 
ly no  steamboats.  The  postal  service  was  limited, 
irregular,  and  infrequent  in  large  portions  of  our 
great  country.     It  was  necessarily  slow,   and  very 

*  The  twelve  yearly  volumes  of  "Union  Questions,"  founded 
upon  and  growing  out  of  this  early  system  of  "Limited  Uniform 
Bible  Lessons"  for  the  whole   Bible,   were  as  follows: 

(i)  Life  and  Miracles  of  Je^us  Christ;  (2)  Paral)!es  and  In- 
structions of  Christ;  (3)  Creation  of  the  World  to  the  Exodus; 
C4)  Exodus  to  Death  of  Joshua;  (5)  Acts  of  the  Apostles;  (6) 
Death  of  Joshua  to  Death  of  Samuel;  (7)  Death  of  Samuel  to 
the  Captivity;  (8)  The  Epistle  to  the  Calatians;  (q)  Captivity 
to  the  End  of  Old  Testament:  Cio)  Epistle  to  the  Romans; 
Cii)  Epistle  to  the  Hebrews;  (12)  General  View  of  the  Whole 
Bible.

expensive.  Even  ten  years  later,  in  the  fourth  dec- 
ade of  tlie  nineteenth  century,  postal  rates  on  printed 
matter  were  practically  prohibitive.  For  example, 
the  American  Sunday-School  Union  reported  that 
illustrated  and  other  Sunday-school  periodicals,  which 
it  supplied  in  packages  to  schools  for  ten  dollars, 
cost  the  subscribers  thirty  dollars  for  postage.  Tlie 
postage  was  collected  at  the  post  office  nearest  the 
subscriber's  home,  and  not  at  the  office  where  the 
papers  were  mailed. 

Under  such  imperfect  postal  service,  it  was  not 
practicable  nor  possible  to  have  the  use  of  the  same 
Bible  lesson  on  the  same  Sunday  in  all  parts  of  the 
country.  Groups  of  schools  associated  in  large  cities 
could  and  did  adopt  and  use  the  same  lesson  on  the 
same  Sunday.  In  segregated  communities  schools 
were  free  to  select  and  did  choose  a  year's  course 
of  study  for  all  classes  or  departments  of  the  school ; 
and  associated  groups  did  the  same.  It  is  marvelous 
that  the  system  gained  such  extended  and  prolonged 
use  and  popularity  in  the  face  of  such  formidable 
obstacles. 

Then  reaction  came  from  vested  denominational 
interests.  Denominational  leaders  were  insistent 
in  their  demands  for  instruction  upon  their  respec- 
tive and  peculiar  doctrines,  along  with  general  Bible 
truths  of  salvation  held  in  common.  The  various 
schools  of  theology  also  gave  prominence  to  their 
views,  to  justify  their  existence.  Before  the  midd^.e 
of  the  last  century  a  wave  of  denomin.ationalism 
flooded  the  country,  producing  controversies  be- 
tween the  Arminian  and  Calvinistic  schools,  and 
battles  in  defence  of  views  of  the  Baptist  and  of 
pedo-baptist  doctrines.  This  strife  of  doctrinal  dif- 
ferences was  so  severe  as  to  rend  some  of  the  largest 
bodie<=.  The  Presbyterian  church  was  split  in  1837, 
and  the  Methodist,  Baptist  and  other  bodies  later 
over  slavery. 

Each   of  these    schools   or   denominations   desired, 

11 


and  several  developed,  separate  schemes  of  study  for 
their  respective  Sunday-schools,  to  such  an  extent 
that  this  era  came  to  be  designated  as  one  of  "Babel 
Series"  of  Sunday-school  lessons.  These  polemic 
strifes  and  civil  controversies  culminated  in  the 
bloody  fratricidal  Civil  War  of  1861-1865.  The 
better  sense  of  the  American  people  was  aroused  to 
stand  and  fi^^^ht  for  Union.  The  people,  in  a  life- 
and-death  struggle  for  four  years  against  segrega- 
tion and  division,  won  a  signal  and  decisive  victory 
for  Union. 

TIDE   FOR    UNION 

In  the  reconstruction  era  that  immediately  fol- 
lowed, the  denominations  struggled  vigorously  to 
preserve  their  respective  lessons  along  special  doc- 
trinal lines,  and  to  hold  the  ground  they  had  gained. 
The  Methodists  of  the  North,  under  the  magnetic 
leadership  of  John  H.  Vincent,  began  the  "Berean 
Series"  of  lessons  for  their  Sunday-schools;  the 
Presbyterians,  North,  had  the  "Westminster  Series," 
ably  edited  by  Henry  C.  McCook.  Other  denomina- 
tions had  similar  series.  For  rural  Union  schools 
the  American  Sunday-School  Union  issued  a  new 
"Explanatory  Series"  on  the  New  Testament,  edited 
by  S.  Austin  Allibone,  LL.D.,  and  Rev.  Dr.  Richard 
Newton.  While  each  of  these  series,  so  diverse, 
gained  considerable  popularity  in  its  respective  field, 
the  war  had  revived  a  desire  among-  many  workers 
and  educators  for  a  nationail  system  of  Bible  study. 

A  uniform  lesson,  one  biblical  topic  of  study  for 
all  in  the  same  school  at  the  same  time,  was  again 
suggested,  and  believed  by  many  to  have  marked 
advantages  over  other  systems.  This  plan  of  the 
same  Bible  lesson  for  all  Sunday-schooi's  was  warm- 
ly advocated  in  conventions,  and  especially  in  Sun- 
day-school teachers'  institutes,  bv  Richard  G.  Pardee, 
Ralph  Wfells,  John  S.  Hart,  and  H.  Clay  Trumbull 
in  the  East,  and  by  B.  F.  Jacobs,  Edward  Eggleston,

Edwin  W.  Rice,  and  Stephen  Paxson  in  the  North- 
west, and  by  others  in  other  sections  of  the  country. 

Then,  during-  the  war,  the  .Sanitary  as  weh 
as  the  Christian  Commission  broui^ht  together 
prominent  clergymen  and  laymen  of  widely  different 
faiths,  for  Christian  service  for  the  soldiers  in  camp, 
hospital,  and  on  the  batt'e-field.  They  saw  the  need 
and  the  efficiency  of  su^h  union  service.  They  also 
experienced  the  great  joy  of  united  worship.  Why 
not  extend  similar  service  and  worship  to  mixed 
communities  all  over  the  country?  And  why  not 
have  a  joint  study  of  our  common  Bible  to  give  in- 
creased inspiration  for  such  worship  and  service? 

The  Sunday-School  Teacher^  issued  in  Chicago, 
and  then  edited  by  Edward  Eg-gleston,  prepared  and 
published  a  series  of  Bible  lessons  intended  for  use 
in  all  Sunday-scJiools,  which  gained  wide  favor. 
Notes  on  these  lessons  were  printed  in  several  re- 
ligious weeklies  of  different  clenominations,  notably 
in  the  Baptist  Standard,  of  Chicago.  These  lessons 
were  also  made  the  theme  for  the  popular  noonday 
prayer  meetings,  under  the  leadership  of  D.  L. 
Moody.  TJic  Sunday-School  Times,  of  Philadelphia, 
had  special  notes  on  the  same  lessons.  Mr.  Eggles- 
ton  voiced  the  prevailing  sentiment,  saying :  "One 
lesson  for  the  school^- — the  Bible  classes,  main  school, 
and  the  infant  class,  but  adapted  by  teachers  to  the 
capacities  and  wants  of  each — is  the  watchword  .  . 
the  foundation  for  all  true  advancement  .  .  . 
Without  a  uniform  lesson  there  can  be  no  teachers' 
meeting-;  general  exercises  are  impossible;  unity  in 
hymns  and  prayer  out  of  the  question;  the  moral 
power  of  members  studying  the  same  passage  is  de- 
stroyed." "There  can  be  no  effective  school  instruc- 
tion," he  declared,  "without  a  uniform  lesson  of  some 
kind.     Why  not  uniform  lessons  for  all?" 

This  agitation  troubled  denominational  leaders 
seriously.  At  the  suggestion  of  John  H.  Vincent 
prominent   leaders   held   a   conference    in   PHainfield, 


N.  J.,  where  decided  opposition  to  uniform  lessons 
was  revealed.  But  this  rather  increased  than  allayed 
the  agitation  for  union  or  uniform  lessons.  Fre- 
quent appeals  were  made  to  the  Executive  Committee 
of  the  National  Sunday-school  Convention  of  1869, 
of  which  H.  Clay  Trumbull  was  secretary,  and  later 
chairman.  Then  a  meeting  of  the  National  Com- 
mittee was  held  in  New  York,  July  10,  1871,  to  plan 
for  the  next  convention.  Uniform  lessons  were  dis- 
cussed, and  the  Executive  Committee  declared  that 
the  "Sunday-school  cause  would  be  greatly  promoted 
if  the  publishers  of  Sunday-school  lessons  would 
unite  on  a  uniform  series  of  topics  for  1872."  They 
appointed  a  subcommittee  (B.  F.  Jacobs,  Alfred  Tay- 
lor, and  J.  S.  Ostrander)  "to  convey  this  sentiment 
to  th.e  publishers"  and  to  invite  and  urge  them  "to 
hold  such  a  conference  in  the  Bible  House,  New 
York,  August  8,  1871." 

With  his  characteristic  incisiveness  Trumbull 
states  the  general  situation  thus :  "The  movement  for 
uniformity  was  popular  rather  than  personal."  "Ap- 
parently, no  publishing  society  or  house  was  orig- 
inally desirous  of  the  experiment."  "Most  of  the 
prominent  Sunday-school  men  of  the  nation  doubted 
either  its  feasibility  or  desirableness."  "The  great 
mass  of  Bible  students  through  the  length  and 
breadth  of  the  land  pressed  for  it."  "Some  opposed 
it  on  theoretical  grounds,  others  saw  practical  diffi- 
culties." "A  few  advocated  it  warmly."  "Nearly  all 
admitted  a  strong  public  sentiment  in  its  favor." 

No  wonder  vested  interests  in  denominational  pub- 
lishing houses  did  not  favor  the  plan.  It  meant  that 
their  respective  lesson  systems  must  be  thrown  into 
the  scrap  heap,  with  a  loss  of  many  thousands  of 
dollars  in  plates,  stock,  and  good-will  The  American 
Sunday-School  Union  had  even  more  to  sacrifice  in 
primers,  readers,  series  of  question  books,  Bible- 
class  textbooks,  besides  the  new  "Explanatory  Les- 
sons," which  were  proving  widely  popular  in  rural 
schools.

NEVv  UNIFORM  SUNDAY-SCHOOL  LESSONS,  FROM  I^y2  ON 

The  publishers  responded  to  the  invitation.  The 
representatives  of  twenty-nine  Sunday-school  pub- 
lishing societies  and  houses  assembled  in  New  York 
in  August,  1871,  and  after  long  discussion  agreed, 
by  a  vote  of  twenty-six  to  three,  to  appoint  a  com- 
mittee to  select  a  trial  list  of  uniform  lesson  topics 
for  Sunday-school  study  for  1872.  The  committee 
consisted  of  Edward  Eggleston  (of  Chicago  Sunday- 
ScJiool  Teacher),  Richard  New^ton,  D.D.  (editor  of 
periodicals  of  the  American  Sunday-School  Union), 
Rev.  John  H.  Vincent  (editor  M.  E.  "Berean  Series" 
of  Lessons),  Rev.  Henry  C.  McCook  (editor  of 
"Westminster  Series"  of  Lessons),  and  B.  F.  Jacobs 
(writer  of  Notes  in  Baptist  Standard,  Chicago). 

Three  of  those  on  the  committee  (Messrs.  Eggles- 
ton, McCook,  and  Vincent),  after  careful  consulta- 
tion, deemed  it  impossible  to  frame  a  satisfactory 
scheme  of  uniform  lesson  topics,  and  announced  the 
fact  to  the  public. 

But  the  next  morning  the  committee  reassembled, 
at  the  suggestion  of  B.  F.  Jacobs,  and  under  his  mag- 
netic zeal  recalled  that  decision,  and  proceeded  to 
select  a  plan  of  uniform  lessons  for  1872,  by  includ- 
ing mainly  for  on.e  quarter  the  topics  of  the  "Berean 
Series,"  for  another  quarter  those  of  the  Chicago 
Teacher,  and  for  a  third  quarter  the  topics  of  the 
"Westminster  Series,"  leaving  the  committee  to  select 
fresh  topics  for  the  fourth  quarter,  as  the  American 
Sunday-School  Union  did  not  request  that  any  of  its 
series  be  incorporated,  unless  the  committee  found 
them  suited  to  the  general  scheme. 

The  real  problem  still  to  be  solved  was,  on  what 
plan  should  the  committee  select  lesson  topics?  Sev- 
eral plans  were  proposed,  and  several  propositions 
were  offered  as  a  hasi.<  for  such  a  scheme  of  lessons. 
Among  the  more  prominent  were : 

(1)   That  doctrines  be  made  the  basis  of  the  plan. 

15 


(2)  That  duties  along  the  lines  of  practical  Chris- 
tian living,  as  reverence,  Sabbath-keeping,  parental 
and  filial  duties,  and  the  like,  be  the   foundation. 

(3)  That  the  selected  lessons  follow  the  ecclesi- 
astical year,  recognizing  Christmas,  Easter  and  sim- 
ilar holy  days. 

The  contention  was  strong  between  the  advocates 
of  these  respective  plans.  It  was  tersely  described 
as  a  battle  "for  doctrines,  duties,  or  days."  Finally, 
it  was  agreed  that  the  basis  of  the  plan  should  be 
a  study  of  the  Bible  as  a  "wliole,  a  plan  which  was 
believed  to  include  all  the  others. 

As  before  stated,  several  of  the  editors  and  pub- 
lishers who  had  already  outlined  their  respective 
schemes  of  lessons  for  the  year  1872  wanted  their 
selections,  in  part  at  least,  worked  into  the  proposed 
lessons  for  all.  The  new  scheme  was  of  necessity 
made  up  of  three  or  four  quite  diverse  p^ans  of  les- 
sons, predetermined  by  denominational  organizations. 
It  is  amazing  that  this  "patchwork"  list  convinced 
the  majority  of  the  delegates  to  the  National  Sunday- 
School  Convention,  at  Indianapolis,  in  April,  1872, 
of  the  feasibility  of  the  scheme,  and  that  the  uni- 
form lesson  system  was  enthusiastically  approved. 

A  committee  of  ten  persons,  five  clergymen  and 
five  laymen,  from  the  leading  denominations,  was 
appointed  by  that  convention,  with  instructions  to 
select  a  "seven  years'  course"  of  "uniform  lessons" 
or  topics  (1873-1879)  for  study  in  Sunday-schools. 
The  resolution  was  as  follows : 

That  this  convention  appoint  a  committee,  to 
consist  of  five  clergymen  and  five  laymen,  to  select 
a  course  of  B'ible  lessons  for  a  series  of  years  not 
exceeding  seven,  which  shall,  as  far  as  they  may 
decide  possible,  embrace  a  general  study  of  the 
whole  Bible,  alternating  between  the  Old  and  New 
Testaments  semi-annually  or  quarterly,  as  they 
shall  deem  best,  and  to  publish  a  list  of  such  les- 
sons as  fully  as  possible,  and  at  least  for  the  two 
years  next  ensuing,  as  early  as  the  ist  of  August, 
1872;    and   that   this    convention    recommend   their 

16 


adoption  by  the  Sunday-schools  of  the  whole 
country  ;  and  that  this  committee  have  power  to 
fill  any  vacancies  that  may  occur  in  their  numljer 
by  reason  of  the  inaljility  of  any  member  to  serve. 

The  First  Seven  Cycles. — Eight  Lesson  Commit- 
tees in  sucession  have  been  appointed,  and  as  many 
courses  or  cycles  of  study  provided;  three  cycles  of 
seven  years  each,  four  cycles  of  six  years  each,  and 
one  of  eight  years. 

The  committee  which  selected  the  first  year's  les- 
sons, for  1872,  was  appointed  by  the  Sunday-school 
editors  and  publishing  societies  and  houses.  In  the 
appointment  of  the  next  Lesson  Committee,  the  Sun- 
day-school publishers  graciously  conceded  the  ap- 
pointment to  the  National  Sundav-School  Conven- 
tion of  1872. 

Lhe  first  seven  years'  cycle  of  lessons  was  based 
upon  the  p^'an  of  choosing  the  more  important  pas- 
sages, in  a  general  chronological  order,  from  the 
Old  Testament  (beginning  with  Genesis),  and  sim- 
ilar passages  in  the  New  Testament  alternately, 
studying  half  a  year  in  the  Old,  and  half  a  year  in 
the  New  Testament ;  thus,  in  a  fragmentary  way, 
endeavoring  to  cover  the  entire  Bible  within  the 
seven  years'  study.  Sometimes  the  alternation  be- 
tween the  Old  and  the  New  Testament  was  made 
every  three  months,  but  more  frequently  every  six 
months.  The  lesson  texts  were  usually  limited  to 
from  ten  to  twenty  verses  per  lesson,  so  that  only 
about  forty-five  hundred  to  five  thousand  of  the 
thirty-one  thousand  verses  (31,173)  in  the  entire 
Bible  were  included  in  the  studies  of  the  seven  years' 
cycle.  The  intention  was  so  to  select  the  lessons  as 
substantially  to  go  over  "the  entire  Bible  in  each 
course  for  the  purpose  of  historical,  biographical, 
and  doctrinal  study,"  and  thus  to  gain  a  general 
knowledge  of  the  contents  of  the  Scripture  every 
seven,  and  later  every  six  years.  The  plan,  however, 
did   not   fully    follow  the   intention  of   its  founders. 

17 


Only  forty-eight  lessons  were  selected  for  each 
year's  study;  the  last  Sunday  in  every  three  months 
'being  reserved  for  "a  review,  or  a  lesson  selected 
by  the  school."  In  1878  the  committee  assigned  the 
last  Sunday  of  every  quarter  to  a  "review  of  the 
lessons  of  the  quarter,  or  a  missionary,  a  temperance, 
or  other  lesson  selected  by  the  school." 

A  similar  plan  was  pursued  in  the  second  seven 
years'  cycle  (1880-1886).  A  special  feature  of  this 
cydle  was  the  continuous  study  of  the  entire  Gospel 
according  to  Mark,  in  the  year  1882. 

The  same  plan  was  substantiallv  followed  in  the 
third  seven  years'  cycle  (1887-1893),  a  year  (1890) 
of  continuous  study  being  this  time  given  to  the 
Gospel  according  to  Luke,  Provision  was  made  for 
quarterly  missionary  and  temperance  lessons,  as  well 
as  for  reviews. 

The  fourth  cycle  of  lessons  was  limited  to  six 
years  (1894-1899)  instead  of  seven  years,  as  here- 
tofore, and  a  greater  proportion  of  the  time  than 
before  was  given  to  studies  in  the  New  Testament. 

The  Fifth  Lesson  Committee,  appointed  by  the 
International  Sunday-school  Convention  in  Boston, 
\n  1896,  was  composed  of  fifteen  members,  the  ma- 
jority being  new  members. 

A  ''British  section"  of  eight  corresponding  or 
co-operating  members  was  also  recognized.  The 
American  section  prepared  a  preliminary  list  of  les- 
sons, sent  it  to  the  corresponding  members  in  Great 
Britain,  and  also  to  lesson  editors  and  writers,  for 
suggestions  before  it  was  approved  and  announced 
to  the  public.  This  committee  and  their  associates 
were  instructed  to  select  a  six  years'  cycle  of  lessons 
(1900-1905)  to  give  as  complete  a  view  as  possible 
of  the  whole  Bible.  The  committee  decided  to  give 
chief  prominence  to  biography  in  this  six  years'  cycle 
of  study.  In  previous  cycles  prominence  had  been 
given  to  historical  material  in  the  Scriptures. 

In   giving   prominence    "to   the   biographical    ele- 

18 


ment,"  the  purpose  in  the  fiftJi  cycle  was  "to  bring 
forward  the  persons  in  the  Scriptures  whose  lives 
illustrated  the  presence  and  will  of  God  among  men; 
supreme  over  all,  the  Word  made  flesh,  the  only- 
begotten  Son  of  God." 

The  Sixth  Lesson  Committee,  appointed  at  Denver, 
in  1902,  was  composed  of  fifteen  members — twelve 
clergymen  and  three  laymen.  The  British  section 
had  fifteen  members.  This  committee  was  instructed 
to  select  "one  uniform  lesson  for  all  grades  of  the 
Sunday-school,"  and  was  further  "authorized  to 
issue  an  optional  Beginners'  course  for  special  de- 
mands and  uses,  such  optional  course  not  to  bear  the 
official  title  of  Inteniational  lesson."  For  Beginners 
(meaning  scholars  under  six  years  of  age),  a  course 
of  lessons  was  proposed  by  the  committee,  but  did 
not  prove  satisfactory.  Later  a  two  years'  course 
for  Beginners,  topically  arranged,  was  put  forth  by 
the  committee,  which  was  better  received. 

The  British  section  found  that  they  could  not  use 
this  course  and  asked  that  it  be  announced  as  issued 
"under  the  authority  of  the  American  section  of  the 
International  Lesson  Committee;  optional."  In  the 
plan  of  the  uniform  lessons  for  the  entire  cycle,  the 
sixth  committee  followed  a  plan,  which  they  say  had 
"proved  so  attractive  a  feature  from  1900  to  1905." 
The  Sixth  Committee  reported  an  Advanced  course 
of  two  years,  and  recommended  it,  but  it  failed  of 
adoption  by  the  convention. 

The  Seventh  Lesson  Committee,  appointed  at 
Louisville,  in  1908,  consisted  of  fifteen  members  in 
the  American  section,  nearly  half  of  whom  were 
new  members.  The  British  section  had  eighteen 
members.  In  a  final  report,  in  1908,  the  vSixth  Les- 
son Committee  reported  having  issued  an  Advanced 
course  of  lessons  to  schools.  This  Advanced  course 
of  lessons  was  rather  hastily  prepared,  and  the 
Sunday-school  editors,  it  was  said,  "well-nigh  uni- 
versally refused  to  accept  and  prepare  lessons  on  it." 


Later  a  one  year's  Advanced  course  on  the  "Ethical 
Teaching  of  Jesus"  was  approved  and  issued  by  the 
committee,  but  was  not  very  widely  used.  The 
committee  further  proposed  a  Graded  Course  of  les- 
sons, as  the  resu't  of  a  conference  attended  by  rep- 
resentatives of  both  the  British  and  American  sec- 
tions of  the  Lesson  Committees,  and  by  British  and 
American  Sunday-school  leaders,  held  in  Boston,  in 
1907. 

The  committee  reported  that  "for  many  years  to 
come  a  very  large  majority  of  the  Sunday-schools  on 
this  continent  and  in  the  British  Isles  must  be  de- 
pendent upon  the  Uniform  Lesson  System,"  and, 
therefore,  they  asked  the  convention  to  instruct  the 
Lesson  Committee  to  continue  the  work  of  arrang- 
ing and  issuing  the  "Uniform  Series"  of  lessons,  and 
to  authorize  it  also  to  continue  the  preparation  of 
a  thoroughly  graded  course  of  lessons,  which  may 
be  used  by  any  Sunday-school  that  desires  it.  This 
report  a\Vakened  a  long  and  learned  discussion.  The 
convention  unanimously  instructed  the  Seventh  Les- 
son Committee  to  carry  out  the  recommendations 
thus  made. 

SCOPE  AND   MERITS  OF   UNIFORM    LESSONS 

The  scope  and  merits  of  this  system  of  Bible  study 
had  been  repeatedly  discussed.  Sharp  criticism  of  it 
was  renewed,  along  more  radical  lines,  to  test 
whether  it  could  be  made  to  conform  to  sound  prin- 
ciples of  education.  The  scope  of  the  lessons  was 
declared  to  be  imperfect.  In  the  preliminary  year's 
study  for  1872,  the  lessons  were  selected  from  nine 
books  of  the  Bible.  In  the  first  cyole  of  lessons  for 
seven  years,  1873-1879,  during  which  the  whole 
Bible  was  gone  over,  the  lessons  were  selected  from 
fifty-four  different  books,  thirty-three  in  the  Old 
Testament  and  twenty-one  in  the  New. 

In  the  second  cycle  of  study  the  scope  of  the 
lessons  was  narrowed  to  forty-four  books,   twenty- 

20 


four  in  the  Old  Testament  and  twenty  in  the  New, 
and  no  studies  or  lessons  were  assigned  from  twenty- 
two  of  the  hooks  of  the  Bihle. 

In  the  fourth  cycle  of  six  years  twenty-one  hooks 
were  omitted  in  the  selecting  of  lessons  and  only 
one  lesson  was  chosen  from  each  of  fifteen  other 
hooks  of  the  Bihle.  The  later  cycles  of  lessons  have 
heen  mainly  a  repetition  of  the  selections  in  previous 
cycles,  without  any  important  changes. 

Under  the  arrangement  of  any  system  of  Sunday- 
school  study  there  must  he  some  insurmountahle  oh- 
stacles  to  a  study  of  the  entire  Bible  in  a  cycle  of 
lessons  limited  to  six  years.  Would  any  workable 
system  of  Sunday-school  study  prove  more  elastic 
or  wider  in  scope  than  is  possible  under  the  ''uni- 
form" plan  ?  It  was  conceded  that  the  study  of  the 
Scriptures  in  the  Sunday-school  had  been  immensely 
broadened,  as  well  as  deepened,  and  been  made  more 
accurate  as  compared  with  the  study  preceding  the 
"Uniform  Series"  of  lessons. 

The  interpretations  of  divine  truth  were  more 
definite  and  clear,  and,  as  a  consequence,  the  prac- 
tical lessons  therefrom  tended  to  advance  and  deepen 
the  spiritual  life,  not  merely  of  the  Sunday-school, 
but  of  all  Christians  of  every  name  in  all  the  churches 
where  the  system  was  pursued. 

Criticism  of  the  System. — The  i)'an  of  the  "Uni- 
form Series"  of  lessons  came  into  the  Sunday-schools 
with  a  great  wave  of  enthusiasm  that  seemed  to 
bear  down  all  opposition.  Many  predicted  that  it 
would  be  a  temporary  wave,  but  not  so.  The  "Uni- 
form Series"  gained  a  wider  constituency  and  en- 
rolled a  greater  number  of  persons  in  the  study  of 
God's  Word  than  any  other  known  system.  Dis- 
cordant notes  have  come  from  various  quarters,  fre- 
quently from  scientific  educators,  and  bililical  critics. 

The  following  may  be  noticed : 

Early  in  its  introduction  it  was  comp'^ained  that 
"Uniform  Lessons"  did  not  furnish  sufficient  oppor- 

21 


tunity  for  denominational  teaching.  In  reply  to  this 
criticism  its  advocates  boldly  challenged  the  whole 
Christian  world  "to  point  out  a  clearly  revealed  bib- 
lical doctrine  which  has  been  avoided  or  omitted." 
The  difficu'ty  must  be  with  the  teachers  and  not  with 
the  lessons.  "If  the  denominational  teachings  have 
not  been  included  in  the  lessons,"  they  assert,  "it  is 
because  they  are  not  in  the  Bible."  See  reports  of 
the  Lesson  Committee  at  various  conventions. 

The  "Uniform  Lessons"  were  criticized  as  not 
being  entirely  in  harmony  with  educational  theories 
and  child  development.  It  was  admitted  that  there 
was  some  force  in  this  criticism.  This  was  over- 
balanced, however,  by  the  increased  advantages  of 
the  "Uniform  Lessons"  over  its  disadvantages.  For 
example,  it  was  said  that  Sunday-schools  do  not  want 
a  course  of  study  of  the  character  of  higher  schools 
of  learning.  Granting  the  highest  commendation  to 
a  scientific  investigation  of  the  Scriptures,  yet,  it  was 
declared  that  this  investigation  is  not  adapted  to 
the  mass  of  children  in  the  Sunday-school,  and  that 
these  schools  cannot  be  successfully  turned  into 
theological  seminaries. 

The  Lesson  Committee  said : 

We  have  had  in  mind  the  children  from  refined  and 
cultivated  homes,  and  from  alleys  and  sand  lots ;  children 
assembled  in  stately  city  churches,  and  in  log  cabins  and 
dugouts ;  scholars  who  can  read  the  lesson  in  Greek  or 
Hebrew,  and  old  people,  as  well  as  children,  who  can 
only  with  the  greatest  difficulty  spell  out  the  name  of 
Jesus. 

Another  "catching"  and  popular  criticism  of  the 
"Uniform  Series"  was  that  it  was  a  kind  of  "kang- 
aroo system,"  a  "hop-skip-and-jump"  method,  and 
looked  like  the  "erratic  work  of  careless  shears  and 
paste-pot."  On  this  method  it  was  asserted  that  the 
lessons  had  oni1y  been  "skimming  the  Bible."  The 
advocates  wittily  answered,  "There  have  been  great 
thanksgivings  over  the  remarkably  rich  cream  we 
have  gotten." 

22 


The  critics  furtlier  insinuated  that  a  jumping 
method  of  this  kind  woukl  not  be  tolerated  in  the 
common  school.  The  advocates  of  the  "Uniform 
System"  forcibly  replied : 

Is  it  not,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  to  some  extent  pursued 
in  the  common  school,  the  academy,  and  the  college? 
What  classical  teacher  insists  that  his  pupils  shall  read 
everything  in  Virgil,  or  Livy,  or  Horace,  or  Juvenal  ;  in 
Xenophon,  or  Homer,  or  ^schylus  ?  ...  Is  there 
nothing  gained  in  going  over  the  mountain  peaks  of  history 
if  one  has  neither  the  time  nor  the  ability  to  study  the 
philosophy   of  history  ? 

Another  criticism,  which  was  intended  to  include 
nearly  all  that  had  gone  before,  was  that  the  "Uni- 
form Lessons"  were  not  adapted  to  the  development 
of  the  chiild-mind;  were  not  suited  to  the  youngest, 
nor  fitted  for  advanced  scholars;  nor,  indeed,  fav- 
orable to  the  best  progress  between  these  extremes 
of  capacity.  Per  contra,  advocates  of  the  system 
noted  the  many  advantages  of  a  uniform  lesson,  and 
asserted  that  a  grading  can  be  made  in  the  teaching 
— a  grading  which  will  be  as  advantageous  as  could 
be  made  by  different  passages  of  Scripture  for  the 
lessons,  and  without  the  handicap  of  multiplied  les- 
son texts,  and  the  other  disadvantages  of  graded 
texts  that  would  far  outweigh  the  advantages. 

The  Lesson  Committee  asserted  that  the  system  of 
"Uniform  Lessons"  was  based  on  the  idea  of  "the 
greatest  good  to  the  greatest  number." 

The  Advantages  of  the  System. — Over  against  all 
criticism  are  set  advantages,  which  its  advocates 
claim : 

"The  Uniform  Lessons"  have  given  a  more  com- 
prehensive knowledge  of  the  Word  of  God  than  any 
other  system.  Large  portions  of  the  Bible,  which 
were  not  previously  explored,  have  been  studied,  and 
at  least  partially  mastered  and  applied  to  the  prac- 
tical duties  of  life. 

The  plan  of  "Uniform  Lesson"  topics  has  unified 
and    strengthened    Sunday-schootl    teaching.      It    has 


maJe  it  possible  and  vastly  easier  to  have  successful 
teachers'  meetings.  It  has  made  it  possible  even  for 
all  to  know  where  the  lesson  for  the  Sunday  was  to 
be,  and  to  make  preparation  therefor.  It  has  in- 
creased the  strength  of  the  teaching  in  the  individual 
school,  and  has  given  new  life  to  the  cause  of  Bib- 
lical interpretation  and  to  the  critical  study  of  the 
Bible,  and  added  inspiration  and  sidelight  from 
Oriental  life. 

It  has  created  a  fresh  Biblical  literature  of  great 
value  and  given  it  an  immense  circulation.  The  most 
learned  scholars  of  the  world  have  given  some  of 
their  best  thinking  to  the  exposition  of  Biblical  truths 
for  popular  use.  Into  families  where  intelligent 
works  on  the  Bible  had  never  before  gone,  these 
expositions  of  the  lessons  have  found  their  way,  so 
that  in  a  great  majority  of  homes  there  is  a  better 
knowledge  of  the  Bible  than  ever  before. 

The  "Uniform  Series"  of  lessons  has  been  a  great 
object  lesson  and  argument  for  the  oneness  of  Prot- 
estant Christianity.  It  has  shown  that  in  the  great 
essential  doctrines  of  our  religion  there  is  a  unity 
which  had  not  been  before  emphasized  and  has  thus 
promoted  a  wonderful  spirit  of  oneness  in  our  Chris- 
tian life,  while  at  the  same  time  denominational 
beliefs  have  been  respected. 

The  "Uniform  Lessons"  have  been  one  of  the 
most  prolific  means  for  the  diffusion  of  the  gospel. 
Thousands  of  columns  of  expositions  and  applica- 
tions of  Biblical  truth  have  appeared  in  the  secular 
press,  where  previously  such  topics  had  no  place. 
The  foremost  dailies  in  our  cities  have  given  exposi- 
tions by  abl,e  writers,  week  by  week,  upon  this 
series  of  Sunday-school  lessons. 

It  has  immensely  benefited  the  great  traveling 
classes,  whose  duties  call  them  from  p^.ace  to  place; 
for,  under  this  system,  they  could  know  what  was 
the  lesson  for  study  wherever  a  Sunday  might  find 
them. 

24 


"Uniform  Lessons"  have  widened  and  deepened 
the  spirituaHty  an.d  power  of  the  church.  They  have 
furnished  nuniljerless  themes  for  sermons  and  for 
enricliini,^  the  midweek  prayer  meetinj^^s.  Indeed,  it 
has  l)een  c'aimed  that  more  conversions  and  more 
accessions  to  the  church  have  heen  made  since  the 
"Uniform  Lessons"  were  adopted  than  ever  before. 
It  is  claimed  to  have  marvelously  increased  the  power 
and  facility  of  Christian  workers  to  win  souls.  Even 
thoui^di  the  cynic  mav  say  that  the  greatest  number 
of  teachers  in  the  Sunday-school  are  women,  this 
may  be  a  fulfilment  of  the  old  prophecy,  "The  Lord 
g-iveth  the  word;  the  women  that  publish  the  tidings 
are  a  great  host."  (R.  V.)  This  reads  like  a  mar- 
velous prophecy  of  the  prominence  woman  has  won 
for  herse'f  in  these  latter  days  as  a  teacher  of  God's 
Word,  at  which  all  Cliristians  may  well  rejoice. 

The  "Uniform  Series"  of  Sunday-school  lessons, 
some  enthusiastic  advocates  of  the  graded  topic  les- 
son say,  stands  in  the  way  of  the  progress  of  true 
theology  and  of  modern  methods  in  pedagogy. 

UNIFORM    TOPICS    VERSUS    GRADED    TOPICS 

The  hosts  in  Sunday-schools  using  the  "Uniform 
Lessons"  point  to  the  majestic  advance  in  Bible 
study  and  in  Biblical  learning  which  has  been  made 
under  this  system  of  uniform  topical  lessons.  Mark 
well,  the  issue  is  not  one  in  regard  to  graded  teach- 
ing or  to  the  adaptation  of  truth  to  the  development 
of  the  child-mind,  for  both  parties  hold  to  this  view. 
The  real  question  is  between  uniform  topics  and 
graded  topics;  that  is,  between  selecting  passages  of 
Scripture  which  may  give  unity  to  study  and  hav- 
ing many  different  passages  of  Scripture  for  study 
in  the  same  school  at  the  same  time. 

Careful  discrimination  must  be  made  in  the  dis- 
cussion between  the  principle  of  a  uniform  system  of 
topical    study   and    any    selections    made   under   thai 

25 


principle  and  called  "uniform  series  of  lessons," 
Where  imperfectly  or  unwisely  selected  lessons  prove 
a  failure  no  one  is  hastily  to  judge  that  the  prin- 
ciple of  uniform  topics  of  study  is  therefore  a  failure 
or  impracticable.  Everyone  will  concede  that  there 
is  large  room  for  improvement  in  the  selection  of 
lessons. 

Mr.  James  T.  Fields  has  a  noted  humorous  poem, 
"The  Owl  Critic,"  which  tells  of  a  conceited  youth, 
wdio  saw  what  he  supposed  to  be  a  stuffed  owl  in 
the  window  of  a  barber  shop.  With  pompous  claims 
for  knowledge  on  owls,  he  insisted  that  the  owl  was 
badly  stuffed,  his  wing  was  preposterous,  his  head 
not  right,  his  body  badly  posed,  his  feathers  ab- 
surdly arranged,  his  claws  impossibly  curled  on  the 
perch,  and  that  if  he  couldn't  stuff  an  owl  better 
than  that  he  would  go  out  of  the  taxidermist  busi- 
ness. Just  then  the  owl  turned  its  head  and  blinked, 
and  got  down  gravely  from  its  perch,  and  hooted  at 
the  critic.  It  was  a  live  owl ;  and  the  critic  walked 
down  the  street;  thinking  himself  a  big  fool  for 
criticizing  a  live  owl.  It  may  be  equally  perilous 
dogmatically  to  criticize  living  systems  of  Sunday- 
school  lessons. 

UNIFORM    LESSONS    NEEDED 

The  Lesson  Committee  in  1908  voiced  the  views 
of  many  Sunday-school  workers  in  this  emphatic 
language : 

The  very  large  majority  of  the  Sunday-schools  on  this 
continent  and  in  the  British  Isles,  and  practically  all  the 
schools  in  foreign  lands,  are  now,  and  must  be  for  many 
years  to  come,  dependent  upon  the  "Uniform  Lesson"  sys- 
tem .  .  .  which  is  rooted  in  the  affection  of  many 
millions   of   p^cple. 

In  the  discussion  at  the  convention  of  1908  it  was 
positively  asserted  as  the  conviction  of  the  large 
conference  held  in  Boston  of  that  year  that : 

The  system  of  a  general   lesson   for  the  whole   school, 
which    has   been   in   successful   use    for   thirty-five   years,    is 

26 


still  the  most  practicable  and  effective  system   for  the  great 
majority  of  the  Sumlay-schools  of  North  America. 

It  was  asserted  in  the  discussions  also: 

A  graded  system  will  be  impossible  for  years  in  some 
parts  of  the  world,  and  it  may  be  for  generations  ;  hence 
it  is  the  firm  conxiction  of  all  who  have  considered  the! 
matter  with  a  sense  of  personal  responsibility  and  with  a 
wide  outlook  that  the  "Uniform  Lesson"  system  must  be 
maintained,  and  that  it  must  be  developed  year  by  year  in 
the  future,  more  perfectly  to  meet  its  own  ideals. 

Improve  the  Plan. — There  is  room  for  improve- 
ment in  the  selection  of  miiform  lesson  topics  and 
texts. 

The  scope  of  the  "Uniform  Lessons"  can  be 
broadened  to  give  a  wider  conspectus,  or  view,  of 
the  whole  range  of  Bible  truth  within  a  cycle  of 
study.  At  the  same  time,  the  scope  of  the  passage  of 
Scripture  selected  for  each  lesson  should  be  chosen 
so  that  it  wall  lend  itself  to  elastic  and  flexible  treat- 
ment, and  be  capable  of  1)eing  adapted  to  teaching 
that  topic  or  theme  in  a  manner  suited,  as  far  as 
possible,  to  the  youngest  as  well  as  to  the  more  ad- 
vanced scholars.  In  this  respect  the  Bible  is  a  re- 
markable book,  containing  multitudes  of  passages  in 
which  some  great  truth  is  stated  in  so  simple  a  form 
as  to  be  understood  by  a  child,  while  it  will  tax  the 
life-study  of  the   wdsest  mind   fully  to  comprehend. 

There  are  other  lines  along  wdiich  the  selection  of 
"Uniform  Lessons"  could  be  much  improved  for 
general  use.  Sunday-school  workers  desire  to  be  led 
on  to  greater  heights  and  wdder  and  profounder 
views  of  Scripture  truth.  This  calls  for  a  more 
discriminating  choice  in  the  texts  of  Scripture  select- 
ed for  study.  It  will  involve  broader  judgment  also 
of  the  topic  or  theme,  and  a  more  comprehensive 
view  of  the  essential  portions  of  the  Bible.  It  de- 
mands a  better  application  of  the  principles  of  top- 
ical study  to  the  interpretation  of  God's  will  as  re- 
vealed in  the  Bible. 

27 


RADICAL    changes;    SURPRISING    RESULTS 

In  1911,  at  San  Francisco,  the  new  Lesson  Com- 
mittee was  chosen  by  the  Trustees  of  the  Inter- 
national Association.  Heretofore,  the  successive 
lesson  committees  had  for  some  forty  years  been 
chosen  by  the  delegates,  by  common  consent  of 
Sunday-school  publishers  and  workers.  This  report 
was  a  great  surprise  to  workers;  a  bigger  surprise 
awaited  its  authors. 

The  radical  change  led  to  discussion  and  wide- 
spread opposition.  The  controversy  created  strained 
relations  between  the  officials  of  the  International 
Association  and  the  Sunday-School  Council  of  Evan- 
gelical Denominations.  It  was  relieved  by  a  com- 
promise between  the  conflicting  parties.  By  an 
agreement  reached  on  April  22  and  23,  1914,  the 
Association  was  permitted  to  appoint  eight  members 
>on  the  Lesson  Committee,  the  Sunday-School  Coun- 
cil eight  members.  Besides  these  sixteen  members, 
each  denomination  in  America  having  a  separate 
Sunday-school  committee  was  allowed  to  have  one 
representative  also  on  the  Lesson  Committee. 

The  L^nion,  or  undenominational,  societies  and 
Sunday-school  organizations  of  America  had  no  rep- 
resentative, nor  was  there  any  from  the  many  inde- 
pendent Sunday-school  publishing  houses.  The 
Union  Sunday-schools  and  societies  constitute  a  large 
membership  running  into  scores  of  thousands,  who 
use  the  "Uniform"  Bible  lessons.  Historically  the 
American  people  stand  for  equality  and  fair  repre- 
sentation and  voice  in  coritrol  by  all  classes  sustain- 
ing its  public  institutions. 

The  change  at  San  Francisco  in  appointing  the 
Lesson  Committee  was  preceded  by  and  was  due  to 
radical  changes  in  the  structure  and  management  of 
the  convention.  The  name  was  changed  from  "Con- 
vention" to  "Association,"  and  a  charter  was  secured. 
Under  the  charter  a  body  of  trustees  was  authorized 
to  administer  and  direct  the  affairs  of  the  Associa- 


tion,  whicli  included  power  to  appoint  the  lesson 
committees.  This  was  not  in  harmony  with,  but  con- 
trary to  the  structure  of  the  National  Convention  as 
declared  by  its  founders  in  1832  and  1833.  The  early 
leaders  stoutly  opposed  the  drift  towards  a  per- 
manently organized  body  with  legislative  functions, 
as  liable  to  create  dissension  and  loss  of  purpose  of 
the  Convention.* 

BRITISH    section's    WITHDRAWAL 

The  "Uniform"  Bible  lesson  situation  was  further 
complicated  by  the  decision,  regretfully  reached  by 
the  British  section  of  the  International  Lesson  Com- 
mittee, on  January  28,  1915,  and  further  on  May  4, 
1915,  that  they  must  withdraw  from  attempting  to 
adopt  or  use  the  lessons  desired  by  the  American 
section.  This  decision  related  not  only  to  Uniform 
lesson  topics,  but  also  to  any  plan  of  graded  lessons. 
The  reasons  for  this  decision  were  expressed  in  the 
kindest  Christian  spirit.  It  may  be  proper  to  remind 
American  workers  that  the  British  section  of  the 
Lesson  Committees  was  appointed  by  the  Council  of 
the  London  Sunday-School  Union.  For  a  time  the 
same  uniform  lesson  topics  as  in  America  were  used 
by  Nonconformist  Sunday-schools  in  England  and 
Wales.  The  Church  of  England  Sunday-schools, 
comprising  more  than  haH  the  entire  Sunday-school 
membership  of  England,  never  used  the  Interna- 
tional lessons.  They  had  series  of  lessons  issued  by 
their  Sunday-school  Institute.  The  churches  of  Scot- 
land also  issued  special  lessons  for  their  schools.  It 
is  to  be  regretted  that  the  British  workers  were  con- 
strained to  discontinue  the  study  of  the  lessons  at 
the  same  time  studied  in  America.  It  breaks  the 
'Tnternational"  feature  of  the  lessons,  both  Uniform 
and  Graded.

THE    ISSUE    STATED 

The  origin  and  merit  of  the  graded,  departmental, 
and  other  lesson  schemes,  as  rivals  of  the  "Uniform" 
Bible  Lessons,  and  the  accomit  of  the  Eighth  Cycle 
of  Uniform  Lessons,  will  be  treated  in  another 
section  by  my  associate  and  successor  as  Editor,  the 
Rev.  James  McConaughy,  Litt.D. 

My  section  of  the  sketch  of  the  "Uniform"  Bible 
Lessons  may  properly  close  v;ith  the  lessons  of  1917. 
Several  points  may  be  stated  in  closing: 

(1)  The  public  and  the  workers  must  not  be  con- 
fused nor  befogged  by  the  technical  titles,  "Graded 
Lessons"  and  "Uniform  Lessons;'  nor  led  to  think 
that  advocates  of  the  "Uniform  Lesson"  topics  are 
opposed  to  grading  in  teaching,  or  to  "graded  les- 
sons." They  have  urged  grading  the  lesson,  and 
have  presented  the  topic  and  text  of  the  lessons  m 
three  or  more  grades  ever  since  the  "Uniform"  les- 
sons of  1825. 

The  issue  is  not  between  graded  lessons,  and  uni- 
form lessons,  but  between  plans  for  "Uniform  Les- 
son Topics,  or  texts,  and  "Graded  Lesson  Topics  or 
texts.  The  latter,  in  its  full  development,  calls  for 
the  use  of  seventeen  different  topics  and  Scripture 
texts  in  the  same  Sunday-school  at  the  same  session. 

(2)  It  will  not  seem  presumptuous  in  one  who  in 
infancy  and  in  childhood  was  fed  and  nourished 
upon  the  earliest  uniform  system  of  Bible  lessons  in 
the  last  century,  and  who  has  been  permitted  dili- 
gently to  study  and  w'rite  upon  every  cycle  of  the 
later  "Uniform"  lessons,  since  1872,  now  fifty  years, 
to  testify  not  only  to  the  remarkable  enthusiasm 
and  success  attending  the  system,  but,  far  better,  to 
the  blessed  benefits  of  the  graded  teaching  of  those 
Bible  lessons  in  my  own  life.  Moreover,  the  richest 
blessings  from  the  use  of  these  lessons  have  been 
witnessed  by  me,  in  family,  school,  and  community, 

30 


of  all  faiths  and  no  faiths ;  in  states,  territories,  and 
provinces  from  the  A,tlantic  to  the  Pacific. 

Thoroughly  convinced  of  the  wisdom  of  adapting 
instruction  to  the  instructed,  graded  teaching  has 
been  my  method  ever  since  my  first  service  as  a 
teacher  of  classics,  in  1856. 

(3)  Adapting  instruction  in  religion,  however,  re- 
quires more  careful  and  keener  wisdom  than  in  art, 
or  science,  or  literature.  The  age,  knowledge,  and 
intellectual  aptness  of  the  learner  must  be  accurately 
ascertained.  But  vastly  more  important  is  it  to  con- 
sider the  spiritual  condition  of  the  soul  and  mind. 
A  scientist  or  philosopher,  ever  so  eminent,  may  be 
a  babe  in  religion  and  not  able  to  understand  any  but 
the  simplest  Bible  teaching;  a  mere  beginner  in  the 
lowest  grade.  This  may  be  true  of  an  adult  of 
ninety;  because  in  religion  and  spiritual  life  he  may 
be  a  babe  of  nine  years,  or  even  nine  months.  We 
must  not  forget  the  New  Testament  warning  in  our 
grading:  "The  natural  man  receiveth  not  the  things 
of  the  Spirit  of  God;  for  they  are  foo^lishness  unto 
him :  and  he  cannot  know  them,  because  they  are 
spiritually  judged  (or  examined)."  1  Cor.  2:  14 
(R.  v.).  And  the  Great  Teacher  implied  that  the 
greatest  truth  could  be  understood  only  by  those 
who  were  filled  with  or  guided  by  the  Holy  Spirit 
into  perceiving  and  practicing  the  will  of  God.  It  is 
to  this  height  that  all  Bible  students  should  seek  to 
attain.

Uniform  and  Graded  Lessons  in  the 
Period  Between  1914  and  1922 

By  James  McConaughy 

In  the  preceding  pages  Dr.  Rice  has  fully  outlined 
the  development  of  Sunday-school  lessons  in  Amer- 
ica, showing  first  the  beginnings  of  a  Uniform  sys- 
tem nearly  a  century  ago,  and  then  describing  the 
great  development  of  the  present  Uniform  Lessons 
under  the  International  Lesson  Committee  since  1872. 
It  only  remains  for  me  to  bring  the  subject  down  to 
date  (May,  1922)  by  sketching  the  progress  made  in 
shaping  lesson  courses  during  the  past  decade,  a 
period  most  significant  in  this  respect  as  well  as 
most  critical  in  the  reconstruction  of  a  shattered 
world. 

It  is  fitting  to  introduce  such  a  sketch  by  an  ex- 
pression of  warm  appreciation  of  the  voluntary  serv- 
ice devotedly  and  ably  rendered  to  the  great  work  of 
Christian  education  by  the  members  of  the  Interna- 
tional Sunday-School  Lesson  Committee.  Reference 
has  already  been  made  (p.  28)  to  the  changes  effected 
in  the  method  of  appointment  of  that  Committee  in 
1914,  wdiich  have  made  it  generally  representative 
of  all  the  Protestant  evangelical  Sunday-school  forces 
of  America  (excepting  only  those  organized  on  a 
Union  basis).  No  one  can  carefully  examine  the 
two  pamphlets  reporting  the  w^ork  and  proceedings 
of  that  Committee,  from  1914  to  1917,  and  again 
from  1917  to  1922,  prepared  by  its  efficient  secretary, 
Prof.  Ira  M.  Price,  wnthout  realizing  how  much  the 
Sunday-school  world  is  indebted  to  this  Committee 

32 


for  its  laljors.  Whatever  one's  opinion  reg"arding 
Uniform  or  Cxraded  Lessons,  he  can  hardly  fail  to 
see  how  conscientiouslly  and  earnestly  the  Committee 
has  striven  to  keep  pace  with  educational  progress 
and  to  lead  all  Sunday-schools  toward  more  effective 
teaching  of  religious  truth. 

UNIFORM    LESSONS   FOR  THE   EIGHTH   CYCLE 

When  the  new  committee  met,  in  1915,  its  Sub- 
committee on  Uniform  Lessons  proposed  that  the 
next  cycle  of  lessons,  l)eginning  with  1918,  should 
cover  eight  years,  instead  of  six,  as  had  been  the 
practice.  This  change,  when  approved,  made  it  pos- 
sible to  introduce  into  the  cycle,  in  addition  to  the 
usual  consecutive  courses  on  the  great  events  and 
characters  of  both  Old  and  New  Testaments,  several 
topical  courses ;  such  as,  "Studies  in  the  Christian 
Life,"  "Some  Great  Teachings  of  the  Bible,"  "The 
Social  Teachings  of  the  Bible,"  and  "The  Mission- 
ary Message  of  the  Bible."  Provision  was  also  made 
for  the  complete  study  of  each  of  the  three  Synoptic 
Gospels;  and  the  last  two  years  were  given  to  con- 
secutive courses,  covering  an  "Outline  of  Old  Testa- 
ment History";  "The  Life  of  Jesus"  from  a  Har- 
mony of  the  Gospels ;  and  "The  Spread  of  Chris- 
tianity," from  the  Acts  and  the  Epistles.  The  nar- 
rative portions  of  the  Old  Testament,  and  the  Acts, 
with  selections  from  the  Epistles,  were  thus  to  be 
studied  twice  within  the  eight  years;  and  the  Life  of 
Jesus,  from  the  Gospels,  four  times.  Very  little  was 
taken  from  Old  Testament  poetry  or  prophecy,  but 
these  sections  of  Scripture  are  naturally  difficult  to 
teach  to  the  young. 

THE    "improved"    UNIFORM    LESSONS 

A  more  important  new  departure  was  the  effort  to 
adapt  the  Uniform  Lesson  more  closely  to  each  de- 
partment of  the  school.     Uniformity  was  preserved 

33 


by  a  common  lesson  title,  a  common  Golden  Text, 
and  a  common  printed  portion  of  the  lesson  text.  The 
assigned  lesson  section,  however,  often  covered  a 
chapter  or  more ;  in  the  biographical  and  book  studies, 
even  a  score  or  more  of  chapters,  or  sometimes  a 
whole  epistle. 

While  thus  seeking  to  make  the  lessons  less  piece- 
meal, and  more  consecutive  and  comprehensive,  an 
effort  has  been  made  to  adapt  them  to  the  different 
departments :  Primary,  Junior,  Intermediate  and 
Senior,  Young  People  and  Adult.  This  was  done 
by  a  different  statement  of  the  topic  for  each  of 
these  departments.  For  example,  "The  Triumphal 
Entry"  had  as  its  Primary  Topic,  "A  Great  Crowd 
Praising  Jesus" ;  for  its  Intermediate  and  Senior 
Topic,  "Making  Christ  Our  King."  Occasionally 
even  the  lesson  passage  has  been  speciaUy  fitted  to 
the  Primary  children  when  the  main  topic  and  printed 
passage  seemed  too  difficult  to  teach  to  them.  Both 
for  Primaries  and  Juniors  a  special  Memory  Verse 
has  been  selected,  which  might  be  the  same  as,  or  a 
part  of,  the  Golden  Text,  or  some  other  verse  better 
adapted  to  these  departments. 

This  method  of  adapting  the  Uniform  Lesson  has 
now  (May,  1922)  been  in  operation  about  four 
years.  No  consensus  of  opinion  has  as  yet  been 
gathered  from  Sunday-school  workers  regarding  its 
value.  There  seem,  however,  to  be  two  general 
opinions  regarding  it.  Those  who  believe  that  the 
Uniform  Lesson  is,  on  the  whole,  the  best  workable 
plan,  especially  for  schools  of  small  or  moderate 
size,  believe  that  this  method  of  adapting  the  Uni- 
form Lesson  to  the  departments  is  a  valuable  one, 
and  should  be  continued.  Those  who  can  see  no 
good  in  any  other  method  than  Graded  Lessons, 
either  look  upon  this  as  a  step  toward  graded  work, 
in  which  it  has  now  served  its  purpose,  or  they  re- 
gard it  as  an  impossible  makeshift.  In  either  case 
they  want  to  see  it  dropped  in  order  to  give  a  clearer 

34 


course  for  the  pushing  of  Graded  Lessons,  especially 
in  the  Primary  and  Junior  Departments. 


THE   GRADED-LESSON    MOVEMENT 

The  advocates  of  Graded  Lessons  base  their  argu- 
ment on  the  sound  pedagogical  principle  that,  not 
only  the  method  of  teaching,  but  the  truth  to  be 
taught  should  be  adapted  to  the  stage  of  develop- 
ment of  the  pupil.  They  do  not  believe  that  this 
is  possible  where  the  same  Scripture  passage  is  to 
be  taught  to  all  classes  in  the  school.  They  there- 
fore advocate  either  a  separate  series  of  lessons  for 
each  department,  or,  carrying  the  principle  to  its 
limit,  a  separate  course  of  lessons  for  pupils  of 
every  year  from  Beginners  to  Seniors — from  four 
years  old  to  eighteen — with  additional  courses  for 
Young  People  and  Adults,  making  in  a  large  school 
a  score  or  more  of  distinct  courses  to  be  taught 
at  the  same  time. 

The  advantage  of  separate  lessons  for  Beginners, 
or  for  the  Infant  Class,  as  it  long  was  called,  was 
early  recognized.  The  first  provision  to  meet  this 
need,  as  already  stated  by  Dr.  Rice  (p.  19),  was  made 
by  the  Lesson  Committee  appointed  at  Denver,  in 
1902.  But  advocacy  of  separate  lessons,  first  for  the 
Primary,  then  for  both  Primary  and  Junior,  and 
(from  a  different  angle)  for  the  Adult  Department 
of  the  school  had  begun  much  earlier  than  this 
action.  One  chief  training  ground  of  its  advocates 
was  in  the  city  Unions  of  Primary  workers,  now 
known  as  Graded  Unions.  'The  Lifant  Class 
Teachers'  Union,"  of  Newark,  N.  J,,  was  the  pioneer 
in  this  movement ;  and  out  of  it  came  such  leading 
advocates  of  Graded  Lessons  and  other  progressive 
steps  in  the  Elementary  Division  as  Mrs.  J.  Wood- 
bridge  Barnes  and  Miss  Josephine  L.  Baldwin.  Un- 
der impulses  proceeding  from  the  British  Section  of 
the  Lesson   Committee,   from  the   International    Pri- 

35 


mary  Teachers'  Union — which  had  grown  out  of 
these  city  groups — and  from  publishers  who  had  been 
issuing  separate  Primary  courses,  the  Lesson  Com- 
mittee issued  "Optional  Primary  Lessons  for  1896" ; 
but  the  course  failed  to  win  favor. 

THE  BOSTON    CONFERENCE 

The  agitation  and  experimentation,  however,  con- 
tinued, and  resulted  next  in  the  issuing  by  the  Com- 
mittee, in  1903,  of  an  "Optional  Two  Years'  Course 
for  Beginners,"  which  soon  came  into  great  favor. 
In  1906  Mrs.  J.  W.  Barnes,  then  Elementary  Sup- 
erintendent of  the  International  Sunday-school  Asso- 
ciation, was  assigned  to  give  special  service  and 
direction  to  the  work  of  framing  a  course  of  Graded 
Lessons  for  the  Primary  and  Junior  Grades.  She 
formed  a  group  of  workers  who  agreed  to  give  two 
days  a  month  for  two  years  to  the  task.  This  group 
came  to  be  known  as  the  "Graded  Lesson  Confer- 
ence." While  their  work  was  in  progress  it  was 
submitted  to  experts  who  tested  it  both  theologically 
and  pegagogically.  In  January,  1908,  Mr.  W.  N. 
Hartshorn,  a  member  of  the  Executive  Committee 
of  the  International  Sunday-School  Association,  who 
had  been  for  years  in  helpful  touch  with  the  move- 
ment, called  together  in  Boston  a  conference  of  some 
fifty  Sunday-school  leaders,  representing  the  Inter- 
national Association,  the  Lesson  Committee,  the  Edi- 
torial Association  (composed  of  editors  and  pub- 
lishers of  Sunday-school  literature),  and  the  Graded 
Lesson  Conference.  After  two  days'  consideration, 
their  conclusions  were  formulated  as  follows : 

(i)  That  the  system  of  a  general  lesson  for  the 
whole  school,  which  has  been  in  successful  use  for 
thirty-five  years,  is  still  the  most  practicable  and  effec- 
tive system  for  the  great  majority  of  the  Sunday- 
schools  of  North  America.  Because  of  its  past  accom- 
plishments, its  present  usefulness,  and  its  future 
possibilities,  we  recommend  its  continuance  and  its 
fullest  development. 

36 


(2)  That  the  need  for  a  graded  system  of  lessons 
is  expressed  by  so  many  Sunday-schools  and  workers 
that  it  should  be  adequately  met  by  the  International 
Sunday-School  Association,  and  that  the  Lesson  Com- 
mittee should  be  instructed  by  the  next  International 
Convention,  to  be  held  in  Louisville,  Ky.,  June  18-23, 
1908,  to  continue  the  preparation  of  a  thoroughly 
graded  course  covering  the  entire  range  of  the  Sunday- 
school. 

GRADED   COURSES  ISSUED 

These  conclusions  were  adopted  by  the  Louisville 
Convention,  June,  1908,  on  recommendation  of  the 
Lesson  Committee,  and  that  Committee  at  once  pro- 
ceeded to  act  upon  them.  The  courses  worked  out 
by  the  Graded  Lesson  Conference  were  critically 
examined  and  further  submitted  to  Sunday-school 
leaders,  and  during  1909  and  1910  seven  courses  were 
issued,  two  each  for  the  Beginners,  Primary,  and 
Junior  Grades,  and  one  for  the  Intermediate. 

Soon  after  they  came  into  use  strong  criticism 
arose,  especially  in  the  South,  based  chiefly  on  the 
introduction  of  wdiat  have  come  to  be  known  as 
extra-Biblical  lessons;  that  is,  lessons  chosen  from 
other  sources  than  the  Bible,  such  as  missionary 
biography,  etc.  This  led  the  Lesson  Committee  to 
issue  in  April,  1911,  a  set  of  Biblical  lessons  to  be 
placed  parallel  with,  and  wherever  desired  to  be 
used  instead  of,  the  extra-Biblical  lessons  appearing 
in  the  different  Graded  Series. 

The  Lesson  Committee  continued  to  prepare  and 
issue  courses  until  it  has  now  (1922)  provided:  a 
Beginners'  Course  (two  years)  ;  Primary  (three 
years);  Junior  (four  years);  Intermediate  (four 
years)  ;  Senior  (four  years)  ;  Adult  (one  year)  ; 
with  three  months'  elective  courses,  of  which  three 
are  Senior,  three  Young  People's,  and  seven  Adult 
(one  of  these  especially  for  parents  and  one  a  double 
course  covering  six  months). 

To  attempt  even  the  most  concise  summary  of  the 
contents  of  these  courses  would  carry  us  beyond  our 

37 


limits.  To  give  a  general  idea  it  is  sufficient  to  say 
that  the  Beginners'  courses  consist  of  stories  show- 
ing God's  loving  care  and  protection,  and  illustrat- 
ing such  virtues  as  helpfulness  and  kindness;  the 
Primary  Series  selects  various  passages  showing 
God's  relation  to  us,  and  dealing  with  worship,  with 
God's  book,  God's  house,  and  God's  day.  with  Jesus' 
example,  and  with  the  conduct  of  the  child  Chris- 
tian; the  Junior  Series  is  largely  biographical,  alter- 
nating between  the  Testaments,  and  including  some 
missionary  lessons;  the  Intermediate  Courses  study 
Bible  leaders  in  their  historical  background,  with 
missionary  leaders,  both  American,  and  foreign, 
followed  by  the  life  of  Jesus,  and  ending  with 
studies  in  Christian  living ;  the  Senior  Courses  em- 
phasize Hebrew  and  Christian  history,  both  Biblical 
and  later,  with  applications  to  present-day  social  re- 
lations, and  including  some  studies  of  Bible  books. 
The  Senior  and  Young  People's  Electives  and  the 
Adult  Courses  apply  Christian  principles  to  industry, 
stewardship,  temperance,  missions,  and  similar  life 
issues,  with  a  number  of  book  studies. 

GRADED    COURSES    IN    USE 

This  bare  outline  of  this  comprehensive  scheme  is 
sufficient  to  show  how  thorough  has  been  the  labor 
lovingly  bestowed  upon  it  by  those  who  see  in  it  the 
highway  of  progress  in  the  religious  education  of 
our  young  people.  It  suggests,  too,  how  difficult 
a  problem  it  is  for  any  average  Sunday-school  of 
moderate  size,  dependent  upon  volunteer  leaders, 
successfully  to  model  its  work  upon  such  a  plan  as 
is  here  outlined. 

These  courses  have  now  been  available,  in  part  or 
in  whole,  for  a  dozen  years.  The  denominational 
publishing  houses  have  issued  them  in  attractive 
form,  and  Sunday-school  editors  in  their  periodicals, 
and  Sunday-school  leaders  in  conventions,  institutes, 

38 


and  training  schools  have  done  their  best  to  popu- 
larize them. 

The  result  is  as  yet  inconclusive.  The  use  of  the 
Graded  Lessons  has  steadily  increased.  Well  or- 
ganized and  progressive  city  schools  very  generally 
use  them  in  a  part  if  not  in  the  whole  of  the  school. 
Many  schools,  however,  use  them  only  in  the  Ele- 
mentary Division,  preferring  the  Uniform  Lessons 
in  the  Intermediate,  Senior,  and  Adult  Classes.  The 
use  of  the  Uniform  Lessons  has  not  been  greatly 
affected  by  the  introduction  of  the  Graded  ones.  In 
some  sections  of  the  country  and  in  some  denomina- 
tions their  use  has  steadily  increased;  and  it  is  safe 
to  say,  that  in  the  great  mass  of  the  smaller  and 
medium-sized  schools  in  the  country,  in  villages, 
towns,  and  cities  as  well,  the  Uniform  Lessons  still 
hold  the  ground  and  meet  the  need. 

DEPARTMENTAL  GRADED   COURSES 

Early  in  the  use  of  the  Graded  Lessons  it  became 
the  conviction  of  many  Sunday-school  leaders  that, 
while  the  principle  on  wdiich  they  were  formed  was 
the  right  one,  it  was  carried  to  an  impracticable 
extreme.  This  led  to  the  framing  of  what  came  to 
be  known  as  Departmental  Graded  Lessons.  These 
differed  from  the  Graded  (which,  to  distinguish  them, 
have  since  been  usually  known  as  the  Closely 
Graded)  in  that  they  were  planned  by  Departments 
instead  of  by  years.  ^  The  Primary  Department  was 
still  to  have  three  yearly  courses,  but  instead  of 
all  three  being  taught  in  the  department  at  the  same 
time,  they  were  to  be  taught  in  successive  years. 
By  this  plan  only  a  half-dozen  different  lessons  or 
less  would  be  taught  in  a  school  on  a  given  Sunday 
instead  of  several  times  that  many.  To  this  plan  it 
was,  of  course,  objected  that  a  Primary  pupil,  for 
example,  might  first  have  to  study  the  lessons  in- 
tended for  children  of  eight,  and  follow  them  with 
those  intended  for  children  of  six  and  then  of  seven. 

39 


This  objection  has  not  proved  a  serious  one,  how- 
ever, for  any  skilled  teacher  can  readily  adapt  what 
would  specially  fit  a  boy  of  eight  to  a  boy  of  six. 

These  Departmental  Graded  Lessons  have  been 
very  successfully  promoted,  especially  in  certain  de- 
nominations, such  as  the  Presbyterian  and  Reformed. 
Thus  three  distinct  series  of  lessons :  Improved  Uni- 
form, Departmental  Graded,  and  Closely  Graded 
have  been  and  are  in  use  side  by  side  in  our  vSunday- 
schools.  In  addition  there  are  various  denomina- 
tional courses,  especially  in  the  Episcopal  and 
Lutheran  Churches,  and  certain  independent  ones 
issued  by  different  publishing  houses. 

THE    LATEST    DEVELOPMENTS 

In  view  of  this  situation  the  Lesson  Committee 
appointed  April  7,  1920,  a  Commission  of  Seven  of 
its  members,  with  Prof.  L.  A.  Weigle  as  Chairman, 
"to  undertake  a  thorough  survey  of  the  lesson  situa- 
tion in  the  light  of  the  experience  of  those  using  the 
courses  now  in  existence;  and  in  the  light  of  this 
survey,  to  make  recommendations  concerning  the 
future  policy  of  the  International  Sunday-School 
Lesson  Committee."  This  Commission  did  a  care- 
ful piece  of  work,  reporting  its  findings  to  the  Les- 
son Committee  from  time  to  time,  and  seeking  to 
recommend  a  lesson  policy  which  would  promote 
both  progress  and  unity.  As  one  result  of  its  in- 
vestigations it  recommended  that  the  International 
Lesson  Committee  should  issue  for  use,  beginning 
with  1924,  a  dated  series  of  so-called  Group  Graded 
Lessons  for  the  Primary  and  Junior  Departments, 
and  it  submitted  for  criticism  the  first  year's  lessons 
of  a  three  years'  series  for  each.  The  private  cir- 
culation of  the  first  provisional  drafts  of  these  les- 
sons brought  to  the  Commission  communications  rep- 
resenting the  views  of  a  large  part  of  the  con- 
stituency which  the  Lesson  Committee  serves.  These 
communications  brought  to  view  two  demands,  both 

40 


widespread  and  urgently  pressed,  though  hy  different 
groups : 

1.  The  demand  that  the  Committee  provide  for  a 
full  continuance  of  the  Uniform  Lessons  adapted, 
or  adaptab'le,  to  the  entire  school  above  the  Beginners. 

2.  The  demand  that  the  Primary  and  Junior  Group 
Lessons  be  issued  as  substitutes  for  the  Uniform 
Lessons  in  those  two  grades,  so  that  for  those  grades 
the  Committee  should  issue  only  two  and  not  three 
series  of  lessons. 

In  the  face  of  these  conflicting  view's  the  Commis- 
sion proposed  that  the  Improved  Uniform  Lessons, 
beginning  with  1924,  should  no  longer  be  adapted 
to  the  Primary  and  Junior  Departments,  but  only 
from  the  Intermediate  Department  up.  This  pro- 
posal \Vhen  it  became  known,  drew  a  widespread 
protest  from  those  using  the  Uniform  Lessons.  It 
was  urged,  and  justly,  that  schools  believing  the 
Uniform  Lessons  best  fitted  to  their  needs  should 
have  the  lessons  provided  as  during  the  present 
cycle,  with  such  adaptations  as  promoted  their  use 
by  the  entire  school.  It  was  further  urged  that 
those  who  believed  in  Graded  Lessons  ought  to  be 
able  to  unite  on  one  series,  to  meet  the  needs  of  all 
schools  desiring  such  lessons,  in  which  case  the 
Lesson  Committee  could  fulfil  its  responsibility  to 
the  Sunday-school  world  by  providing  one  Graded 
Series  and  one  Uniform  Series,  and  permitting 
schools  to  choose  between  these  two  series  according 
to  their  preferences,  their  size,  and  their  circum- 
stances. 

This  was  the  situation  when  the  Commission  of 
Seven  submitted  its  report  to  the  International  Les- 
son Committee  at  its  meeting  in  Pittsburgh,  April 
20,  1922.  In  that  report  it  concisely  summed  up  the 
situation  as  it  had  surveyed  and  estimated  it.  Tt 
stated,  first,  the  reasons  which  it  had  found  to  be 
urged  for  the  continuance  of  the  Improved  Uniform 

41 


Lessons.     These  it  found  to  be  of  two  sorts : 

(a)  Reasons  based  upon  considerations  of  expedi- 
ency and  demand,  such   as  the  following: 

An  uneducated  constituency  is  unable  to  understand 
and  use  Graded  Lessons  ;  small  schools  can  never  use 
to  advantage  anything  other  than  a  Uniform  Lesson  ; 
Graded  Lessons  are  too  difficult ;  we  tried  Graded  Les- 
sons and  went  back  to  the  Uniform  ;  the  Uniform 
Lessons  simplify  the  work  of  the  superintendent,  make 
it  possible  for  him  to  supervise  the  preparation  of  the 
lesson  in  a  weekly  teachers'  meeting,  and  render  it  easy 
for  him  to  secure  substitute  teachers  without  previous 
notice ;  w^e  ought  to  retain  L'niform  Lessons  for  the 
sake  of  strangers  and  commercial  travelers  ;  the  litera- 
ture of  the  Uniform  Lessons  is  cheap,  whereas  Graded 
Lessons  cost  too  much  for  many  schools ;  the  name 
"Uniform  Lesson"  has  value  and  prestige  that  dare 
not  be  surrendered. 

(b)  Reasons  based  upon  principle;  these,  again, 
are  of  two  sorts  : 

There  are  reasons,  first,  which  are  based  upon  the 
pedagogical  principle  of  fellowship  and  association, 
which  stress  the  value  of  the  association  of  all  the 
members  of  the  school,  old  and  young,  in  the  study  of 
a  common  lesson,  with  the  reinforcement  of  home 
study,  family  worship,  and  weekly  prayer-meeting,  and 
the  co-operation  of  religious  and  secular  papers. 

There  are  reasons,  second,  w^hich  are  based  upon 
principles  of  theology,  concerning  the  nature  of  the 
moral  and  religious  experience  and  needs  of  children. 
Reasons  of  this  sort  may  be  urged  in  three  forms: 
(i)  That  the  writers  of  the  Graded  Lesson  helps  have 
not  rightly  understood  or  dealt  with  the  religious  needs 
of  children  of  various  ages;  (2)  that  the  Graded  Les- 
son outlines  issued  by  the  Lesson  Committee  do  not 
reflect  a  correct  tmderstanding  of  these  religious 
needs;  and  (3)  that  there  are,  in  fact,  no  such  differ- 
ences between  children  and  adults,  with  respect  to 
their  moral  and  religious  capacities  and  needs,  as  will 
justify  anything  other  than  Uniform  Lessons. 

Over  against  these  reasons  urged  for  the  con- 
tinuance of  Uniform  Lessons  the  Commission  stated 
certain  defects: 

(a)  A  uniform  series  of  lessons  contains  no  prin- 
ciple of  progression  whereby  the  pupil  is  able  to  meas- 
ure his  advance  from  grade  to  grade.     It  is  impossible, 

42 


moreover,  for  the  teacher  fully  and  effectively  to 
correlate  Uniform  Lesstms  with  the  work  of  the  pupil 
in  the  public  schools  and  with  the  rest  of  the  pupil's 
education. 

(b)  The  general  outlines  of  a  uniform  series  of 
lessons  are  chosen  without  reference  to  the  moral  and 
religious  experiences  and  needs  of  any  particular  grade 
or  age-group  ;  and  these  outlines,  therefore,  do  not 
provide  for  children  in  the  younger  age-groups  such 
ordered  Christian  nurture  and  systematic  instruction 
in  the  simple  fundamentals  of  Christian  faith  as  they 
most  need  for  the  upbuilding,  through  the  Holy  Spirit, 
of  moral  and  religious  character.  At  best  the  Improved 
Uniform  Lessons,  in  the  Primary  and  Junior  grades, 
can  furnish  merely  a  succession  of  adapted  lessons ; 
they  do  not,  in  any  proper  sense  of  the  term,  consti- 
tute a  graded  series  of  lessons. 

(c)  The  uniform  principle  forms  an  inadequate 
basis  for  the  teaching  of  the  full  range  of  Biblical 
truth.  It  causes  such  passages  only  to  be  chosen  for 
lesson  material  as  can,  in  the  judgment  of  the  Com- 
mittee, yield  some  message  to  all  pupils  in  the  school, 
young  and  old.  The  tendency,  therefore,  is  to  over- 
emphasize the  narrative  portions  of  the  Bible  and  to 
neglect  the  more  abstract  and  difficult  portions.  The 
Gospels  and  Acts  are  thus  given  a  due  measure  of 
attention,  and  the  narratives  of  the  Old  Testament 
more  than  their  relative  value  warrants ;  while  the 
Wisdom  literature,  the  Law,  the  Poetry,  and  worst 
of  all,  the  Prophets  of  the  Old  Testament  and  the 
Epistles  of  the  New  Testament,  are  relatively  neg- 
lected. To  neglect  these  portions  of  the  Bible  is  to 
miss  much  of  the  richest  truth  of  God's  Word. 

In  view  of  this  situation  the  Commission  presented 
recommendations  which  the  International  Lesson 
Committee  after  careful  consideration  adopted. 
These  laid  down  as  the  working  policy  of  the  Com- 
mittee the  following: 

(i)  That  the  International  Lesson  Committee  con- 
tinue to  issue  Improved  Uniform  Lessons  in  such 
cycles  and  zvith  such  material  as  its  judgment  may 
from  time  to  time  approve;  hut,  beginning  with  1924, 
ziith  adaptations  to  the  Intermediate,  Senior,  Young 
People's  and  Adult  Departments  only. 

(2)  That  the  Committee  recognize  the  Primary 
Group  Lessons   and   the  Junior  Group  Lessons,  begin- 

43 


iting  ii'ith  1924,  as  sKbstitiitious,  zcithin  the  Improved 
Uniform  Series,  for  the  Primary  and  Junior  adapta- 
tions hitherto  issued. 

(3)  That  the  Committee  recognize  the  Improved 
Uniform  Lessons,  beginning  liith  1924,  as  an  alter- 
native course,  zvithin  the  Group  Graded  Scries,  for 
all  pupils  above  the  Junior  age-group. 

As  immediate  steps  toward  the  fulfihneiit  of  this 
general  policy  the  Committee  voted: 

(i)  That  a  six-year  cycle  of  Improved  Uniform 
Lessons  be  authori::ed,  beginning  zi'ifh  1926,  with 
adaptations  to  Intcrincdiate,  Setiior,  Voutig  People's 
and  Adult  Departments. 

{2)  That  the  Subcommittee  on  Improved  Uni- 
form Lessons  be  unrestricted  by  instructions  as  to 
the  range  and  character  of  material  to  be  selected, 
in  viezi'  of  the  probable  desirability  that  the  Uniform 
Lessons,  for  some  years  to  come,  should  be  adapt- 
able to  the  use  of  Primary  and  Junior  pupils:  even 
though  specific  adaptations  of  title  and  material  to 
these  grades  are  not  provided  by  the  Committee. 

Thus  American  Sunday-schools,  so  far  as  they 
follow  the  courses  prepared  and  issued  by  the  Inter- 
national Sunday-School  Lesson  Committee  (soon,  no 
doubt,  to  become  an  integral  part  of  the  International 
Sunday-School  Council  of  Religious  Education),  w^ill 
have  offered  to  them  the  choice  between  three  series 
of  lessons.  They  may  first,  use  the  International 
Graded  Lessons,  providing  a  separate  lesson  for 
pupils  of  each  year  throughout  the  membership  of 
the  school ;  or,  second,  they  may  use  the  new  Group 
Graded  Lessons  in  the  Primary  and  Junior  Depart- 
ments, and  the  International  Uniform  Lessons  from 
the  Intermediate  Department  up ;  or,  third,  they  may 
use  the  Improved  Uniform  Lessons  in  all  depart- 
ments of  the  school  above  the  Beginners,  with  the 
adaptations  which  the  Committee  has  provided  for 
each  department  for  1924,  and  which  for  subsequent 
years  will  no  doubt  be  otherwise  provided  for  the 
Primary  and  Junior  grades,  to  supplement  the  adap- 
tations to  the  other  grades  which  the  Committee  will 
furnish. 

44 


Clearly  the  Sunday-school  is  a  progressive  move- 
ment, and  each  new  decade,  if  not  each  new  year, 
will  witness  hetter  methods  of  accomplishing  its 
work  than  have  heen  used  hefore.  There  are  incon- 
veniences, however,  in  living  in  buildings  from 
which  the  scaffolding  is  never  taken  down. 

WEEKDAY   RELIGIOUS  EDUCATION 

One  subject  remains  to  be  briefly  mentioned.  Re- 
ligious education  of  boys  and  girls  is  no  longer  to  be 
done  only,  or  perhaps  even  chiefly,  in  the  Sunday- 
school.  We  are  in  the  midst  of  a  movement  to  add 
religious  education  to  the  secular  education  by  which 
we  are  training  our  boys  and  girls  for  life.  Week- 
day religious  education,  in  some  form  or  other,  is 
steadily  permeating  our  educational  system.  Vaca- 
tion Bibie  schools,  after  twenty  years  of  trial,  are 
conclusively  proving  their  value  and  spreading  from 
the  cities  to  the  towns  and  even  into  the  country 
districts.  The  problem  now  is  to  work  out  a  cur- 
riculum of  religious  education  which  will  correlate 
the  weekday  work  w^ith  the  work  of  the  Sunday-school. 
The  new  movement  will  make  the  Sunday-school  no 
less,  but  all  the  more,  important.  At  the  same  meet- 
ing of  the  International  Lesson  Committee  already 
referred  to,  on  April  20,  1922,  at  Pittsburgh,  a  Sub- 
committee on  an  International  Curriculum  of  Re- 
ligious Education  was  appointed  ''to  undertake  the 
construction  of  a  curriculum  of  religious  education 
which  shall  provide  in  integrated  fashion  for  both 
Sunday  and  weekday  hours."  This  Subcommittee 
has  before  it  a  task  of  great  importance,  and  the 
results  of  its  labors  should  be  of  widespread  influ- 
ence and  value.

List  of  Lesson  Committees 
1872-1922 


(The  committee  that  made  the  first  selection  of  the 
present  "Uniform  Series"  of  lessons  was  appointed  by 
twenty-nine  representatives  of  Sunday-school  publishing 
societies  and  houses  in  New  York,  August,  1871.  This 
committee  selected  a  list  of  trial  lessons  for  1872.  The 
next  committee  was  appointed  by  the  National  Sunday- 
School  Convention,  at  Indianapolis,  in  1872,  to  select  les- 
sons for  a  seven-years'  cycle  of  study.  New  lesson  com- 
mittees, American  Section,  were  successively  appointed  by 
the  International  Sunday-School  Conventions.  The  "Brit- 
ish Section"  of  each  was  named  by  the  Council  of  the 
London  Svmday-School  Union.)

The  ten  members  of  the  first  Lesson  Committee  were  chosen 
from  five  of  the  denominatinns  interested  in  the  scheme  in 
America.  Two  were  I'.aptist,  two  Congregationalist,  two  Metho- 
dist Episcopal,  two  Presbyterian,  and  two  Protestant  Episcopal. 
Two  were  added  from  Canada,  J.  Monro  (iibson,  Presbyterian, 
and    A.    Macallum,   making  twelve   in   tlie   first   committee. 

49 


The  second  committee  numbered  fourteen  Americans;  three 
were  r>aptist,  one  Congregationalist,  one  Lutheran,  four  Metho- 
dist, four  Presbyterian,  and  one  Protestant  Episcopal.  Two 
were   added    from    England,    F.    J.    Hartley    and    W.    H.    Groser. 

Ten  denominations  were  represented  in  the  fifth  committee. 
The  proportion  of  clergymen  in  the  committee  has  been  gradu- 
ally increased,  so  that  for  1900- 1905  only  three  were  laymen. 
In  the  British  Section  the  proportion  was  more  evenly  balanced 
at  first;  later  clergymen  predominated,  as  in  the  American 
Section. 

The  representation  on  the  Lesfon  Committee,  American  Sec- 
tion, has  been  based  on  the  numbers  in  the  denominations  using 
the  System,  e.  g.,  Baptist,  4.000,000,  3  members;  Congrega- 
tional, 600,000.  I  mem1)er;  Discijiles,  1,000,000,  i  member; 
Lutheran,  i  member;  Methodist,  5,000,000.  3  members;  Presby- 
terian, 1.700.000,  3  members;  Protestant  Episcopal,  798,000,  i 
member;  Reformed,  340,000,  and  United  Brethren,  260,000,  each 
I  member.  P>ut  only  a  fraction  of  some  of  these  bodies  use  the 
System.
